Chapter 61: Jump off the building

Views:

When you understand that it is impossible to take back what you have said, you should know that no matter what you do, you cannot talk too much. The next morning, another suicide appeared, but obviously, it was not in the two areas I marked.

"Let's go, Freud." Gu Chen patted my shoulder and said meaningfully: "It seems that sometimes psychology is not very reliable."

Guan Zengbin shrugged and said, "At present, there is no way to determine whether it is a suicide or a homicide. It is difficult to tell whether it is a homicide or a suicide without carefully looking at the scene of falling from upstairs, so they want us to go and see it." Look, and then talk."

I sighed and said, "Whether the book is reliable or not is not certain now, isn't it a suicide or a homicide?"

When we arrived at the place, the body was still lying on the ground, but it was covered with a white cloth. A cordon has been set up around, surrounded by many people taking pictures with mobile phones. It took us a lot of effort to squeeze in through the crowd, identify ourselves, and we crossed the cordon.

A comrade came over and said to the few of us: "The name of the deceased is Ma Liliang. He was a real estate agent by profession. He jumped off a building not long ago. But so far, it is not known whether someone pushed him down. I said that you are in charge of suicide cases recently, so I asked you to take a look."

"Let's go." Pointing to a few passers-by who gave confessions in the distance, he said: "When Ma Liliang jumped off the building, these were a few witnesses passing by, why don't you talk to them first?"

Guan Zengbin walked towards the corpse and said to him, "Don't worry, talk to him first."

"Who is it?" he asked.

Guan Zengbin put the toolbox next to the corpse, and then uncovered the white cloth: "Of course I talked to Ma Liliang. The dead can tell us more than the living can tell us."

Before the white cloth is lifted, we can see the blood flowing outside. Seen from the front, the blood splashed out in a fan shape, and the farthest bloodstain may be more than ten meters away. This is in line with the blood stains formed by falling from a high place, and judging from the farthest distance of the spray, it is estimated that this height is not low.

I looked up at the neighborhood, the thirty-second floor. However, the windows on the upper floors are the upper porch windows. It should be impossible for an adult to jump from the house, so maybe he can only jump from the roof. But doing the math, the height of thirty-two floors makes me feel dizzy just thinking about it.

Guan Zengbin lifted the white cloth, and the corpse came into our eyes.

At a glance, the corpse appeared in a prone position, with shoes on one foot and no shoes on the other.

On the whole, it looks like a crawling gecko.

The skull of the corpse's head was so badly shattered that it was almost impossible to recognize the person's appearance from the face. It seems that the identity information of this person was obtained from other channels, which is quite fast.

Guan Zengbin didn't even open the box, but when he saw the condition of the corpse, he said, "The time of death was probably less than an hour. Judging from the condition of the corpse, it is indeed in line with the situation of the high fall. His limbs and head were contused in the same direction. This kind of fall injury is very difficult to artificially produce."

"But it's not easy to jump to conclusions right now. I have to see if there are any other scars on his body, or whether there is any drug in his blood, so that I can judge whether he was thrown from the rooftop in a daze, or whether he has subjective consciousness. .” Guan Zengbin covered the white cloth again: “Take the corpse away.”

"Let's go." I said, "Look at what people who have witnessed everything say."

When Ma Liliang was standing on the 32nd floor, no pedestrians noticed him. And when Ma Liliang jumped down from the 32nd floor, he shouted with all his might: "Be careful below, stay out of the way."

When the voice seemed to be hovering in everyone's minds, Ma Liliang had already fallen and fell heavily to the ground. When the crowd gathered around him, Ma Liliang was already dead. From this point of view, Ma Liliang was at least conscious when he jumped off the building.

"Go upstairs and have a look!" I said to someone as I walked upstairs, "Find some mannequins for me, and find me a big bag of broken stones."

The man scratched his head: "What do you want these things for?"

"Of course it's useful. It will be transported directly to the rooftop in a while to evacuate the people below." I said to him with a smile.

On the elevator, I was bored and asked Gu Chen, "Gu Chen, why do people commit suicide? It is because they are so disappointed in this world that they choose to leave this world. If someone can walk into the depths of their hearts Is it possible that they won't commit suicide?"

Gu Chen looked at me for a long time, and then said: "If you ask me this topic, I really can't answer it. But maybe it's like this. If there is no more nostalgia in this world, life will be suffering. But I think, A person's death is not always a person's business, even if you don't want to live, you still think about others."

"There is always someone who will mourn for you after you die." Gu Chen said.

I asked, "Oh, doesn't that mean you will cry after I die? Seriously, I really want to see what the hell Tiehan looks like when he cries."

"Oh, when I was one hundred and twenty years old, you could see it when I visited your grave." Gu Chen shrugged.

The elevator opened, and I walked out and said, "Sorry, the fortune teller said that I have a hurdle at 130 years old..."

"The grave collapsed?" Gu Chen said.

What is it like to stand on the 32nd floor and look down? I just feel that if the wind is stronger, I will be blown down. But I really stand high and look far away, and I can see the surrounding scenery in my eyes. Although it was close to noon, it was still relatively cool up there.

Looking down, I saw that the crowd below was as small as ants. After watching for a long time, I felt an inexplicable urge to jump down. Perhaps many people like bungee jumping because of this kind of psychology, and want to try what kind of experience it is to jump off. It is a pity that the person who knew these experiences has no way to tell us how he feels now.

There are railings on the roof, but if someone wants to kill himself, the railing will not help much.

Judging from the location where Ma Liliang fell, we have determined an approximate range.

"Here is a pair of glasses." I said to Gu Chen.

I put on my gloves and took it up. After a closer look, it was a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and they were men's.

I carefully observed the width of the gold-rimmed glasses frame, and then said to Gu Chen, "These are the glasses worn by Ma Liliang."

"Really?" Gu Chen also stared at the glasses for a while, "How did you know that his name was written on it?"

I shook my head and said: "No, it's just a guess. Ma Liliang is an employee of a real estate agency, and this kind of temperament is very suitable for his work. Ma Liliang is wearing a suit, so the matching glasses must be more formal. Besides, this The frame of the pair of glasses is folded, he must have taken it off and put it here on purpose."

"Why put it here?" Gu Chen asked.

I shrugged: "The book I read said that people who commit suicide must close their eyes when they commit suicide. Because no matter how powerful a person is, they all have animal nature. Nature makes us always unwilling to face ourselves. or someone else's death."

I stood on the edge and looked down, matching the position of the body.

I continued: "That's why when ordinary people see a dead body, their first reaction is not sympathy but fear. This is their nature. In this way, those forensic doctors are really powerful."

"You want to say that Guan Zengbin is great?" Gu Chen shook his head and said, "I see that you two often flirt with each other in front of me, so let's just get along."

"Her?" I quickly waved my hand, "I still can't!"

"The dummy you want is here!" A voice came from behind.

When I looked back, I saw five of them, each holding a dummy, and the other carrying a sack of broken stones. Gu Chen and I quickly picked it up and put the five dummies beside us.

"Is that enough?" the man said, sweating profusely.

I nodded and quickly thanked: "Enough is enough, let the people below stay away, let's do a fun experiment."

"A fun experiment?" Everyone was puzzled.

Gu Chen understood what I was going to do, and said, "Simulation."

"Yes, if we want to know whether he committed suicide or homicide, these dummies can help us." I said, "I just estimated that Ma Liliang is about 1.75 meters tall, and the height of these dummies is about the same. He The weight should be about one hundred and thirty catties, put these stones in."

The weight of the dummy plus the weight of the stone is estimated to be about one hundred and thirty catties.

Gu Chen and I placed a dummy outside the railing.

I said: "Okay, now the simulation is that someone pushes the horsepower light and informs the people below to stay away."

As we spoke, we pushed the dummy down, and within three seconds, the dummy fell to the ground with a bang. Looking down from the top of the building, it was torn apart and stones splashed. Luckily we've told people to stay away and nothing happened.

The following police marked the location where the dummy fell, and we started the next simulation.

"This is Ma Liliang jumping down with all his strength." I said.

Another dummy.

"This is Ma Liliang who rolled down after being knocked out."

a dummy.

"This is Ma Liliang going down..." I said again.
